Time is not on my side - Please Help. |
|
|
When burning a DVD it takes 30+ hours.
My goal is to copy over 50, 2-hour, family video tapes to DVD for my
children and me.
At this rate I won't live long enough to get them done.
My computer is a Sony VAIO PCG-FRV31. It has a Celeron 2.4 Ghz CPU with 448
mb of RAM.
The OS is XP SP2.
I first capture the home movie to an external hard drive. It is a Maxtor One
Touch 100Gb drive.
The DVD burner is a Sony DRX720UL 8x.
The media is TDK DVD-R 8x discs.
The burning software is Nero 6 Ultra Edition. It lets me know it won't fit
on a single DVD but says it can compress it to make it fit. I respond OK.
I was not connected to the internet while burning. I also stopped all
processes I felt comfortable stopping during the burn.
The recent video file I have captured is 34 GB. Nero estimated it would take
32 hours. I started the copy and it would have taken that long. I aborted
it. Also, I monitored the performance with Windows Task Manager while it was
burning and the CPU usage was at 100% the whole time.
The only video I successfully burned was also about 30 gb and it did take
30+ hours to burn. It came out fine.
Does anyone have any ideas what my problem is and suggestions on how to burn
in a much more reasonable time?
Thanks in advance.

A 34 gig avi file?
Geez, how many hours is that?
Are you using a DV codec?

Can you capture to DVD compliant MPEG2? Then you just need to author it ~30
min, and burn it ~ 8 min.With your current environment you could speed up
things a bit by using source, destination and temp directories on different
fast discs. |

I captured the video by playing the tape on the camcorder that originally
recorded the tape. I passed it through my digital camcorder and that is the
file that was created. It's just a 2 hour tape.
I don't know anything about the codec.

I've used Panasonic DVD recorders for the past 3 years with good results for
this type of work. If the video is not encoded, no special (i.e. Macrovision
or CGMS removal) devices are required. I was recently shopping a Lite-On
that could be hacked via firmware to do this without special devices. The
panny's have a downside: the rewritable media used is DVD-RAM - I had tons
of trouble finding software (other than the included DVD Movie Studio
slow-ware) that would properly work with the format, not counting being
restrict to a few brands of drives that would read the discs. For capturing
help, you may want to go to www.videohelp.com and read the capturing
section - especially as it relates to your hardware and software
combination.
